Players, coaches and staff members took a private 45-minute tour of the White House and met with Trump in what was a last chance to be around hockey’s sacred trophy as defending champions.
Two players on the current roster, Canadians Braden Holtby and Brett Connolly, and Devante Smith-Pelly, who is in the minors, did not attend. The rest of the team was in attendance, along with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.
Wtf does 45 know about hockey! Who tf cares what he thinks.
What a great call by Holtby and Connolly to pass..that would have been so painful to stand through.

Why so late in the season? It's been so long since they won that I almost forgot about it.
